Its actually funny because they did all the upgrades way before the election. There was a file on the Telstra wholesale section of their website that pretty well told you exactly which ones had been activated, and there were a lot set up that weren't actually selling ADSL2 at the time. Telstra were told that they could sell it by the ACCC but seemed to be waiting till the election was over because they were scoring political points by holding out. Once the policies were in place (e.g. labor's plan) they decided to make $$$.
Personally I think Telstra have just seen another way of making $$$$, I would expect that People Telecom prices would be way higher than their competitors because of what Telstra is charging. I think thats why most of the other ADSL2 buyer are buying from the other wholesalers.
